Shenavall

The club had a long association with Shenavall bothy and most of us will have stayed there on one or more occasions. When I stay in bothies and old cottages, I often wonder about their history and who lived there in times past.

Duncan Macniven, Ewen’s brother and friend of the club, who also happened to be the Registrar General for Scotland from 2003-2011, has done just that for Shenavall, going as far back as the 1841 Census. The research provides a wonderful insight into the lives of the people who lived at Shenavall and the surrounding Strath na Sealga.

Last summer I had a great day out on the Glen Galmadale horseshoe in Morven. The two Corbetts, Fuar Bheinn and Creach Bheinn, together with the Graham, Beinn na Cille were only part of the attraction. I was also interested to have a look at the “Camp” which is marked on the OS 1:50,000 map just North West of the Creach Bheinn summit and only slightly lower at about 840 metres height.
